After changing trains several times along the way, we finally arrived in Yanjing.
Xie Wu and Zhang Ning received the news and left the team early to pick up Huo Yingjie.
Because Huo Yingjie was transferred to a very high-ranking unit, Xie Wu and Zhang Ning were not qualified to go with him, so they could only wait in the research institute.
They were somewhat surprised to receive Huo Yingjie's call, but mostly they were happy.
However, Huo Yingjie told him not to tell his family until he got home, so as not to worry them.
Thinking about how he had traveled to so many places and spent five or six days getting home, Huo Yingjie was very glad that he hadn't told He Tiantian, otherwise she would have had to wait at home for several more days.
"Boss, you're finally back." Xie Wu stepped forward to help Huo Yingjie with his luggage, somewhat excited.
Huo Yingjie smiled and asked, "How's everything at home?"
"Everything's fine at home!" Xie Wu said. "The children are well-behaved, the elderly are in good health, and my sister-in-law is preparing for the competition, training intensively every day."
"Hmm." Huo Yingjie nodded, finally relieved.
Once in the car, Zhang Ning started driving.
As they passed through the commercial district, Huo Yingjie said softly, "Zhang Ning, find a place to park. I need to buy something. I need to buy gifts for the children before I leave. I've been gone for so long, it would be awkward if I didn't bring any gifts and the children were looking at me expectantly!"
Also, he wanted to prepare a gift for He Tiantian.
"Yes, boss," Zhang Ning replied. The boss was always like this, taking meticulous care of the children and family. So, after finding a place to park, he went shopping with Huo Yingjie.
Upon entering the commercial building, Huo Yingjie went straight to the women's clothing store and bought He Tiantian a dress.
Summer is here, and skirts are the most suitable and beautiful clothes to wear.
This is a light green dress with a ruffled, fitted design; it should suit He Tiantian well.
Then we went to the children's area and the youth area.
"Do you know how tall and how heavy the children are now?" Huo Yingjie asked. Unlike He Tiantian, whose height and weight are already fixed, the children's weight will not fluctuate so much unless they overeat. Moreover, He Tiantian pays attention to these things, so Huo Yingjie has a good idea of what they are like.
But children grow quickly during their developmental period, so if you don't ask clearly, you might buy the wrong thing.
Xie Wu and Zhang Ning scratched their heads, thought for a moment, and then said, "Boss, the kids have plenty of clothes at home, so don't buy any more. Didn't you promise to buy them a soccer ball? Xiao Sanzi is still grumbling about your soccer ball. As for Ruihua and Ruimin, they're older now and like things for teenagers."
Huo Yingjie agreed wholeheartedly and nodded, saying, "Yes, you're absolutely right. Then we won't buy any clothes."
"Also, boss, you have an extra daughter, so you can't just buy three portions, you have to buy four," Zhang Ning reminded them. They also knew that He Tiantian had adopted a girl.
Last month, He Tiantian officially completed the adoption procedures at the police station and civil affairs department. Modern Huo Xuanxuan has officially become He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie's daughter, and has the same rights as biological children under the law.
"Huh?" Huo Yingjie was taken aback. "When was she born? How come I didn't know?"
Huo Yingjie assumed that He Tiantian was pregnant after he left.
Seeing that Huo Yingjie had misunderstood, Zhang Ning quickly said, "Boss, she wasn't born to your wife, she was adopted. The thing is..."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yingjie was taken aback, then silently calculated it in his mind before realizing what he meant.
It turns out that the little turtle had transformed into a little girl; she was actually female!
"Okay, then I'll buy one more." Huo Yingjie smiled, eager to see the little turtle's transformation, especially now that it was his daughter, which made him even more curious.
Thinking about how the little tortoise had followed him for so many years, and now that it had finally taken human form, it could be considered a good outcome.
The little turtle helped so much in the past, and now that it has transformed into human form, it's not surprising that He Tiantian has taken it in as her daughter. After all, the Snake King has become her cousin.
Huo Yingjie bought four gifts for the children: a harmonica for Huo Ruimin, a jigsaw puzzle for Huo Ruihua, a Barbie doll for Xiaoxuangui, and a soccer ball for Huo Xiaosan.
I originally wanted to buy some gifts for Grandma Wang, but then I realized she has everything she needs and doesn't really care about these things, so I decided not to. I'll go back and find a piece of jade that's good for nourishing the body to give her.
When Huo Yingjie returned home, only Grandma Wang was at home.
Grandma Wang was overjoyed to see Huo Yingjie return and asked, "Yingjie, are you hungry? Thirsty? Tired?"
Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "Grandma Wang, I'm not thirsty, hungry, or tired. I've had sleeper berths the whole way. How are you feeling?"
"Good, I'm in good health," Grandma Wang said with a smile. "I can live for a few more years!"
"Then please take good care of yourself. I'm going to take a shower, change my clothes, and then pick up Tian Tian from get off work and the kids from school," Huo Yingjie said with a smile, eager to see his wife and children.
"Yes, we should go," Grandma Wang said. "Go ahead, I'll tell the cook to prepare extra dishes so we can have a proper celebration tonight."
“Okay.” Huo Yingjie nodded, fully agreeing.
Huo Yingjie took a shower, changed his clothes, and went to pick up He Tiantian from get off work, wanting to give her a surprise.
Grandma Wang has already instructed the cook to prepare more delicious food.
Lu Wanxia was very happy to hear that Huo Yingjie had returned, and immediately promised to cook a delicious meal.
Grandma Huo often called Grandma Wang, and Grandma Wang couldn't help but tell Grandma Huo.
"Tell the cook to make more food. We'll all go over there in a bit," said Old Madam Huo immediately. She hadn't seen Huo Yingjie for several months and couldn't wait to see her grandson.
Old Madam Huo found Old Master Huo outside, who was bragging to others, and said, "Old man, stop bragging. Our grandson is back from his business trip. Go see him soon."
It was no secret that her grandson had gone on a business trip, and it was even less of a secret now that he was back, so Old Madam Huo wasn't afraid of others hearing about it.
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Tang was even more envious and said, "Congratulations."
"Congratulations, congratulations!" Old Master Huo grinned so wide his eyes were almost closed, his gums showing.
The Huo family is really on the rise!
Huo Zhekun is now the Vice Premier and will soon be transferred back to Beijing. His eldest son will soon be the Party Secretary of Nanhu Province!
Although not both sons live in Yanjing, everyone knows that Huo Zhegan is making way for Huo Zhekun, and at the same time, he has been promoted and will probably retire as a national-level cadre.
As for his grandsons, they were even more extraordinary.
Huo Yingjun, at such a young age, is already the ambassador to Ukraine.
Huo Yingjie is the most amazing. He comes from a good family and has a high IQ. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the youngest academician. Now he is involved in the development of national strategic weapons and has even succeeded in developing them, making great contributions.
Grandpa Tang's eyes welled up with envy!
